And he's got a string of impressive journalism credits a mile long. What's with these people? Do they all want to be Jayson Blair?

Yeah - but he sure has a hard-on for the Bush family. What in the world did they do to him personally to deserve his obsession?

A Nixon conservative (maybe), who tolerated Reagan, and can't stand the Bushes.

I've Read some of his more recent and not so recent stuff in excerpts, he's got the lefty propaganda down pat now. And since conversions to the dark side are rare, I tend to think he's always been so, and is openly showing it of late.

To the best of my knowledge, Kevin Phillips always has been a liberal Republican and NEVER has been a conservative. He has a right-wing reputation only because of his first book, "The Emerging Republican Majority", published in 1969. That book was a brilliant, objective analysis of why the GOP would dominant presidential politics for decades to come. I was told that Phillips was a Young Republican, but on the wrong side within the organization. He worked in the Nixon Justice Department. ALL his later political books have displayed an anti-liberty, pro-government bias typical of elitist, northeastern RINOs.

He's been bashing Republicans for 20+ years now, and the media *still* calls him a conservative Republican!

>"Sadly, Kevin Phillips used to be a conservative."<

Actually, I don't believe that he ever was conservative, he just played one on the radio years ago, when CBS used him in their left-right soundbite debates.

Kevin Phillips, William Safire, and more recently, David Brooks, who pitches supposedly right-handed softballs for his lefty opponent on PBS to hit out of the park, are what I refer to as "Potemkin" conservatives. They are false fronts - facades that look like the real thing from a distance but crumble like cardboard under closer examination.

Did Kevin Phillips go gay? He has turned a 180 degrees.....he's nuts.
